Heating modes

The heated clothing has one on/off button with which you turn on the system as well as select the heat setting.

• Press and hold the button for about 3 seconds to turn on the system.
• When the button lights on red, the garment is on the highest heat setting.
• Then briefly press the button again to switch to the medium setting. The button then lights up green.
• Press the button again briefly to change to the lowest setting. The button will then light up blue.
• Press and hold the button again for about 3 seconds to turn the system off.

The operating time and heat intensity depend on the model, heat mode selected, battery capacity and ambient temperature.

The heating area depends on the model. For heated undergarments, the heating elements are located in the designated heating zones of the garment. For heated vests, jackets and body warmers, the heating elements are incorporated in the relevant zones of the upper body, depending on the design of the model.
